In California, most of the old-time pioneers and many of their children and grand-children recount episodes of a disease once referred to as soil-breaking fever . They recall that one to four weeks after a severe dust storm, or after plowing the sun baked soil, illness sometimes occurred and victims suffered a prolonged flu-like episode. Occasionally, deep seated disease or death terminated this unhappy respiratory experience with San Joaquin Valley Dust. The immigrants recognized that the illness was one that did not occur in their former abodes. They coined the terms Valley Fever and San Joaquin Valley Fever to describe it; the lexicon also included Desert Rheumatism and Desert Fever. Ecologic studies have not determined clearly the reason for the preference that Coccidioides immitis has for the San Joaquin Valley, the Southwest of the United States and specific locations in Mexico, Central America and South America. The fungus resides only in soils of the New World and its failure to spread beyond its well defined boundaries is a mystery. Keywords: Valley Fever, Dust, Spores, Flu-like episodes, Coccidioides immitis; Fungus diseases; Reprints.

Fungal diseases have contributed to death and disability in humans, triggered global wildlife extinctions and population declines, devastated agricultural crops, and altered forest ecosystem dynamics. Despite the extensive influence of fungi on health and economic well-being, the threats posed by emerging fungal pathogens to life on Earth are often underappreciated and poorly understood. On December 14 and 15, 2010, the IOM's Forum on Microbial Threats hosted a public workshop to explore the scientific and policy dimensions associated with the causes and consequences of emerging fungal diseases.

The twentieth century witnessed an era of unprecedented, large-scale, anthropogenic changes to the natural environment. Understanding how environmental factors directly and indirectly affect the emergence and spread of infectious disease has assumed global importance for life on this planet. While the causal links between environmental change and disease emergence are complex, progress in understanding these links, as well as how their impacts may vary across space and time, will require transdisciplinary, transnational, collaborative research. This research may draw upon the expertise, tools, and approaches from a variety of disciplines. Such research may inform improvements in global readiness and capacity for surveillance, detection, and response to emerging microbial threats to plant, animal, and human health. The Influence of Global Environmental Change on Infectious Disease Dynamics is the summary of a workshop hosted by the Institute of Medicine Forum on Microbial Threats in September 2013 to explore the scientific and policy implications of the impacts of global environmental change on infectious disease emergence, establishment, and spread. This report examines the observed and potential influence of environmental factors, acting both individually and in synergy, on infectious disease dynamics. The report considers a range of approaches to improve global readiness and capacity for surveillance, detection, and response to emerging microbial threats to plant, animal, and human health in the face of ongoing global environmental change.

Infections caused by fungi have recently attracted the attention of both clinicians and basic researchers given the heavy burden they represent for any health system. The mortality and morbidity rates associated to mycosis are progressively rising simply because some of these diseases are still neglected by health-care workers and due to the changing sensitivity to antifungal drugs displayed by these organisms. In this book, both researchers and clinicians working in the medical mycology field explore the most recent literature about specific mycosis; placing in one concise chapter thoroughly revisions of the current knowledge on virulence factors, recognition by immune cells, immunoevasion, epidemiology, new diagnosis trends and therapeutics. This book is recommended to researchers, physicians and students interested in medical mycology.
